    Dirrell by a mile, Ward has not even been in the ring with someone who is actually bringing it to him, Dirrell has already even if not at top level, faced fighters with slightly different styles or guys who could get him out of there with a solid punch but his agility and fast accurate hands has won him the fights.

    Dirrell would take Ward to the cleaners right now, Ward has not been as active as a pro either.

    I could imagine Ward losing heart when he starts to realise he is not going to have an easy fight infront of him and when he starts to get hit real hard.

    Froch would never ever take on that fight.

    I think Dirrell if he matures more into his style will be a solid champion.

    He would outbox Froch, speed would kill in this fight for sure,

    Dirrell is better than Pascal in my opinion, he can implement a gameplan and carry it out.

    I think Ward is more talented but Dirrell is more ready now for success.

    Over the long term I still think Dirrell has the edge. They're taking things slow with Ward which is fine I guess. Problem is he could fall into irrelevance if they don't start stepping on the gas a little more.

    Ward is much better. He might be chinny, but Dirrell is the definition of a scared fighter.. weak chin and major composure problems.

    huki, is that really u talking or is it some casual fan using your account? :lol:

    I think you're thinking too much of the Stevens fight but that was awhile ago..

    What makes you think he has chin and composure problems?

    I agree, he took some knockout shot's on the chin from Oganov so his chin isn't weak. It's probaly just average.

    Look at the way Dirrell fights and look at his reaction to punches. It's not good. There's absolutely no way in hell that Dirrell won't prove to have serious chin problems when he steps it up. You'll see. Someone like Andrade would have him out of there early.

    You overrate Green, Dirrell, and Valero.. they're all lower B level fighters. Again, you'll see.
